Jofra Archer to Lockie FergusonFOUR! Archer hurls it full on the off stump and Lockie steps out and slices it to the left of backward point. Sandeep Sharma gets around to his right at deep third and dives to prevent the boundary but the ball goes under his body. The third umpire has been called into action for a check for a potential fielding restriction breach. Riyan Parag at mid on is the man in question who seems to have been stationed just outside the circle. After a few looksthe third umpire is happy with where Riyan is standing.

Samson straightaway reviews it and challenges the on-field decision. Full but down the leg stump line from Yudhvir Glenn Maxwell misses to flick and the ball passes close to the inside edge. Sanju Samson collects it safely. UltraEdge comes up and shows a flat line. The decision of wide remains and Rajasthan Royals lose a review here. Interestingly Maxwell took his gloves off and began walking off the moment the review was taken seemingly convinced he was out. However upon catching a glimpse of the replays on the big screenhe turned back.

Well then, this brings us to the close of this entertaining double-header Saturday. Earlier in the day, Delhi Capitals registered a thumping win over the Chennai Super Kings at CSK’s own backyard, defeating them by 25 runs, and later in the evening, RR ran over PBKS, with a commanding 50-run win. This is a wrap from this game, then. But matches come thick and fast in the IPL, as up next, we have got another thriller contest lined up for you all. The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium of Hyderabad will light up once again as the Sunrisers Hyderabad host the Gujarat Titans. Both teams are coming off contrasting results with SRH placed at the rock bottom, and GT in the top half. That game will be played on 6th April, Sunday, and the first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Till then, cheers, and take care!
Is that a boundary? Also, the umpires are checking how many fielders were inside the inner ring before the ball was bowled. It will be deemed as a No Ball if fewer than four fielders are found inside the 30-yard circle. The aerial angle from the spider-cam comes up now for the umpire's convenience. Riyan Parag is explaining his case to the umpire, as he is the one who might have moved outside the ring. The wait continues and the third umpire reconfirms with a few more aerial angles. The verdict comes in favor of RR as it is not a No Ball. Now, on the boundary check, Sandeep Sharma fails to stop it.
The physio from the PBKS camp rushes out for the mandatory concussion check. Shashank looks fine.
Jofra Archer to wrap up the match. His figures read, 3-0-20-3 so far.
Arshdeep Singh is in at number 10.
Maheesh Theekshana is back on. He is 3-0-23-1 so far.
Marco Jansen is in at number 9 with PBKS needing 70 off the last 23 balls.
STRATEGIC BREAK. Just a couple of deliveries prior, one would've made a bold prediction that PBKS would execute an absolute heist, and understandably so with the way Glenn Maxwell and Nehal Wadhera were going along. But just as the fast-paced nature of this format, momentum keeps switching back and forth, and it was snatched back by the two Lankan tweakers for RR, removing both Wadhera and Maxwell in successive deliveries. Now with PBKS slipping down to 131/6, and just Shashank Singh as the proper hitter in the middle, Rajasthan Royals would feel they have done 80 percent of their job. Yes, 80 percent, because we are not unaware of what this man called Shashank Singh can do with the bat. But still, it is a steep slope to climb, and pressure can do a lot in these situations. Here's Wanindu Hasaranga to resume his over.
Shashank Singh walks out to bat.
For the second ball in a row, Glenn Maxwell pulls out of his stance just as Yudhvir Singh is in his delivery stride. It's unclear what's bothering the Aussie, but it appears the spider cam hovering nearby might be causing the distraction.
Yudhvir Singh (1-0-5-0) has been brought back into the attack.
STRATEGIC BREAK. This game remains nicely in the grasp of Rajasthan Royals as they have managed to pick the four big wickets of PBKS before the halfway mark. All the bowlers have applied themselves well and have stuck to their plans. With Glenn Maxwell and Nehal Wadhera attempting to launch a recovery partnership, a couple of more wickets here will really seal the deal for RR. Will Maxwell switch the gears after the break and counterattack? With the 'Big Show' still out there, PBKS are well in the contest. Here's Kumar Kartikeya (1-0-2-1) to continue after the break.
Wanindu Hasaranga is introduced into the attack now. He replaces Kumar Kartikeya.
Jofra Archer (2-0-15-2) returns into the attack. He replaces Sandeep Sharma.
Glenn Maxwell is in at number 6.
Nehal Wadhera is in next. Nitish Rana has been subbed out by the Royals and in comes Kumar Kartikeya as the Impact Player.
Marcus Stoinis walks in with the Kings in early trouble. It will be Yudhvir Singh to operate from the other end for the Royals.
The skipper, Shreyas Iyer, walks in at number 3.
